Dear Sunaina, Is it odd that I don’t really think about what happens after we die? I figure, if it’s for me to know then I’ll know, but I don’t yet. This tangible world is so amazing. What we have explored of its possibilities is miniscule. Read more →

Dear Sunaina, I’ve been procrastinating writing because so much is up in the air as far as moving to Maui permanently, but I’ve been in the clouds and every time I open the door it seems to be raining, so it’s time to get started writing! It’s been a pretty nice couple of weeks here, had a guest, inadvertently helped… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, I hope all is well in the Big Apple, lacking worms and all. The homestead has been in the clouds for the last couple of days, hoping that today my clothes on the “solar dryer”, aka clothesline, will be done. A bull has made his way to Killer Hill, and has been making things interesting for some people… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, I am sure you are as eagerly awaiting “World Naked Gardening Day” and “International Permaculture Day” as I am, this Saturday and Sunday! What better way to spend the early spring than enjoying nature au naturale? May 1st is often considered the first safe day to plant frost-intolerant varieties of plants, and Mother’s day is coming up, so… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, I’ve heard that the winter is having a hard time letting go of the mainland. How are things in NYC? Here it’s…about 53-85 all year long! Not trying to brag or anything, well maybe a little. This place has been very welcoming, and I’m starting to explore my options and wondering, should I stay or should I go at… Read more →

Letters to Sunaina, April 19th 2015 Dear Sunaina, I hope you’re well, and staying busy with things that make you smile. Yesterday I got called a “haole”, the first time someone has dropped the h-bomb on me since I’ve been here. It was pretty funny, actually, and in context I didn’t take it as too much of a racist comment… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, It’s been a little while since my last letter, and I hope you’re well and warm in NYC. Daily life here has been interesting, and since the arrival of my new bee suits, my most beloved hobby has finally joined me on the island. The retreatant is finishing up her silent meditation here, a shorter duration than expected.… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, While I planned for this to be an upbeat letter, and it still is in ways, nature has once again demanded depth and contemplation. It’s been a pretty awesome last few days, and now I start settling into a new space on the property while I prepare for the retreatant that will be here for all of April.… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, The other night I walked home from the neighbor’s house, after dark. What a huge difference between Hawaii and Louisiana. In Louisiana, walking down a rural trail at night, I would have to think about snakes, spiders, hogs, coyotes, rutting bucks, livestock, idiots, and drunks. On Killer Hill I had to think about not tripping on rocks, how… Read more →

Dear Sunaina, This week has been the most enlightening so far, and the challenges keep coming. Frustration turned joy, I met the feral horses face to face for the first time, discovered a beautiful new spot to view the sunset, and finally I feel at home. The only expectation that I had when I got here was isolation. I was… Read more →
